Micellar water is one amazing facial product. It made my life so easy to remove dirt and make up on my face after a lit night out. It's like this fairly priced super facial product. I use it on my neck and chest (my major break out areas), as my breakouts have been reduced. It really is worth the hype and should be in everyone's daily routine.

I think Garnier is by far one of the best affordable skin products. I've been using the Micellar cleansing water for about 3 months now and I must say the result are great. My skin is soft and looks healthier

I've been using this as a makeup remover for over a year now and I absolutely love it. I'm very sensitive around the eye area but this micellar water doesn't irritate me at all. It removes all traces of makeup.

I absolutely love how versatile the Garnier Micellar waters are. During the Summer, when it is hotter outside, I prefer using the pink bottle. However during the colder months, or winter, I turn to the yellow bottle (the oil based micellar water) which gently removes my makeup without drying my skin (I suffer from severe eczema on my face during winter). I also like to use this micellar water as a toner as I find it to be more gentle than a lot of other toners I've tried in the past. Overall I think this is a great product and have been using it for a while, and will continue to do so.

I purchased this product a couple of months ago and I've been enjoying using it. It's a perfect "on-the-go" cleanser since it doesn't require water. When on vacation it's perfect for a quick clean up between activities and it leaves skin feeling great

This is an amazing product. Due to the water crisis in Cape Town, it is very challenging to keep to your usual beauty regime. This product not only allows you to cleanse your face but removes excess oil with the added bonus of make-up removal ALL without the use of water!!

Can a makeup remover get any better than this???? So as someone that really cakes up their face in make up, the only part I hate about slaying is removing my make up after a loooong day, But after discovering this product, removing my make up has been a breeze. I would totally recommend this product any day any time xoxo Natalie :)

When I first used this product I was mine blown. Water can remove your makeup and leave it feeling soft to the point where I don’t feel the need to moisturise afterwards. Typically after removing makeup my skin felt dry, but after using this it doesn’t remove moisture when removing makeup. With a full face of makeup I would typically have used about 3 makeup removing wipes (and we all know how expensive those can get!) and still be left with a residue of mascara and foundation in my pores. With the Garnier Micellar Water I use 3/4 cotton pads and it takes absolutely everything away, it’s gentle on the skin and works like nothing I’ve ever tried before. I will always by this product again and again

I was a bit sceptical about this when my friend recommended it because i had joined the masses of coconut oil lovers. But alas, once i tried it there was no going back! Its the best make up remover I've used and I would recommend it to anybody. It removes waterproof make up and also leaves your skin feeling great afterwards, no need for additional face wash or cleanser

The first time I tried this product was at my friends home and she went on and on about this product and in a good . So I decided let me try it out , I'm usually quite afraid to use anything on my skin but as soon as I wiped my face I could feel this cool soothing sensation and from that day , I have been using it. After a long day of make up this is perfect !

This Cleanser is so simple to use and makes my life easier as I can just swipe a cotton pad drenched in this over my face,removing makeup and oil and be done with it.The perfect cleanser for lazy girls!

I started using the Garnier Pure Active Micellar Cleansing Water about 2-3 months ago.

My reason for wanting to try it was that I didn't like having scrub my face to get make up with make up wipes. The circular motions of the make up starting tp become a little too harsh for my sensitive skin.
I really like the packaging its simple and doesn't drip.
When removing my makeup i only need two cotton swabs! It is extremely effective at removing make up and water proof mascara.
I honestly prefer Garniers Micellar water over the wipes. It doesn't cost a lot and lasts quite long. Just a few drops/squirts and you can get rid of make up and left over make up residue.

For months now I've never been able to find your toners so I've used this product as a temporary replacement and to be honest I'm not satisfied. It doesn't remove sneaky dirt after I've washed my face and my pores don't close up...maybe my face is just not fully adjusted to this product

The micellar range is great, but alcohol is the 5th biggest ingredient in here, weakening skin. I would have loved some Salicylic acid in this - like the rest of the Pure Active range. Or even Tea Tree. Great product but the original is still best

This product makes my skin feel amazing.I remember a time when I could not find a cleanser that worked for my skin. After purchasing the 'Ganier Pure Active Miceller Cleansing Water' , my skin feels so much lighter and it also feels as if my pores are not clogged. My skin does not have a dry texture anymore. This product has definitely brought positive change to my skin .However it is a little costly for me .

My heart sank when Clicks stopped selling toners. I liked the feeling of sterile clean pores but now with this, not only does my face get refreshed, somehow my face appears lighter...I still want toners though

I have literally tried so many make up removers and I can honestly say that this is by far my favourite. One to two swipes over your eye make up and its clean! It doesn't burn your eyes at all. Great product!

One of the best from 2016! Definite value for money!My favourite feature-it doesn't leave you with an oily face!!Amazing product!Works for mascara, lipstick, eye-brow pencil, eye shadow,foindation!!I just love it!

I bought this 2 months ago along with the rest of this range, scrub, toner and all. And I almost didn't take this one because I had a makeup remover at home that I loved. But I'm so glad I took it because I will never use another makeup remover unless garnier improves this one. Although I don't think that it can be improved!

Waterproof makeup? No problem!
No water but want to feel refreshed? No problem!

My husband and I go camping alot so this is amazing for me! I can still be clean and feel clean. Even outdoors.

I used to be obsessed with make up remover wipes to remove my make up- until a friend suggested I start using this product. This, accompanied with some cotton wool pads, is my new holy grail. It lasts so long too! I've had it for two months and am only half way through (and I wear a lot of make up)
My make up is completely removed after use and it also removes waterproof make up effortlessly. It leaves my skin feeling refreshed and nourished.

It's also great to use as a toner after washing your face! Two in one products?! YAY!

As someone who is religious about going to sleep makeup free, I'm pretty relentless with trying makeup removing products in search of a product which will not only cleanse my skin, but also leave it feeling moisturized and not tight! I'm happy to say that this product is a must. Bonus is they also make little travel sized ones - perfect for that trip when you get to your room and the last thing you feel like doing is take off your makeup!

It's water, but with more active ingredients that removes dirt and makeup and is yet gentle on my skin. It leaves my face feeling nourished instead of dry and tight. It's a real good quality go-to and must-have for any lady.

This product is amazing , it is gentle on the skin but it removes dirt and makeup so effectively.It is a must have product for every lady and it is worth buying every month,It lasts really long and people with sensitive skin can use it as well.

This makeup removing "water" feels exactly like what it says it is. There is no harshness on my skin and it does a great job at removing all my makeup with a few swipes of a cotton pad or two soaked in the micellar water. It also has a very neutral smell and doesn't burn even when rubbing close to the eye area. Id recommend it to anyone!

My mom was using it I was out of my make up remover decided to try it out. The way it left my skin soft and clean really impressed me. Bought mine two weeks back ill be using it now. Its not sensitive on my skin yet it cleans and leave my skin smooth and healthy.

I broke out when i first started using this product and stopped using it after a week. I recently ran out of face wipes and decided to try this baby out again. I must say this time around i was pleasantly surprised, no breakouts it completely removed my foundation and other makeup except for a bit of mascara. I will carry on using this product as it definitely is value for money

I'm used to quite a little bit of eyeliner residue after intense make-up removal but this was great. Hardly any residue and my skin did not break out. In fact, it felt softer and fresher. Also, you don't need to use much to get all your make-up off. Value for money!

I love it.
I usually buy the Sorbet Oil make up remover and that's quite expensive (R130). It got finished within 3 months.
I bought this for R67 from Dischem and WOW. 4 months in and I only used a 1/4 of it.
It gets off every form of makeup (even eyes-without burning it). It's the perfect makeup remover.

I love the Garnier Active Micellar Cleansing Water and now I love this one for combination skin every more. It cleans my skin of makeup and makes it feel soft and refreshed. Since I started using it, my breakouts have improved and I have less blackheads.

Love both the Garnier Micellars, but this one doesn't smell weird like the pink one, and makes my skin feel soft and fresh and takes of almost all of my makeup, with just a tiny bit of mascara staying behind every time. Good value for money.

I love my Garnier cleansing water. It removes make-up without a fuss. Depending on the amount of make-up I wear, I usually remove all my make-up with one cotton pad. If I am wearing more make-up than usual, it takes about 2-3 cotton pads and removes waterproof mascara easily.

I love this cleanser. it's so easy to use and leaves my skin feeling fresh and clean. It is also great for those "lazy days" when I just cant be bothered doing the whole facewash routine. I love my Garnier Pureactive Micellar Water.

I simply fell in love with Garnier's new Pure Active Micellar Cleansing Water. its so convenient, leaves my face feeling fresh, non sticky and lifts all make-up and impurities as promised. I would highly recommend this product to everyone.

Ok so when i was introduced to the Pure Active Micellar Claensing Water i was like ooookayyy...trying to digest the idea of not washing my face i have been doing that since Amen...gave it a go and did my own findings when i discovered that Micellar Waters have been around for ages and Super models and beauticians swear by this product i was like Yes Jesus i want that Runway glow and i grew to love this love.

has totally changed my mind about cleansers. I really like this product a lot I loved the fact that is was for lips, face and eyes which a lot of wipes and other cleanses only have one function to remove one or the other. The Pure Active range has a few other 3 in 1 products which to me is amazing and space saving and so helpful.
really has the look and feel of water. I did like that it helps with spilling or using to much of the product. Results it removed my make-up and left my skin feeling light, fresh and cleansed really no rinsing needed.

Great product to have and its a 2in1 it Cleanses and Purifies which gets a thumbs up from me and to add I didn't get any skin reactions at all because my eye area can be really sensitive. Its a big bottle 400ml equaling to to 200 uses but that depends on you

So as of October, the Garnier Micellar Waters were officially available nationwide but when the first batch arrived in-store a couple of months ago, local beauty bloggers and editors broke the twitternet with excitement! Rubybox were kind enough to send me both Garnier Micellar Cleansers to review so here's my verdict!

I love applying makeup but I hate the task of taking it off (I'm sure I am not alone). But because cleansing your skin at the end of the day one of the most critical steps in skincare, one cannot afford to slack-off and this is why the Garnier Pure Active Micellar Cleansing Water is heaven-sent. Located right next to my bed on my side table is my very own bottle. I religiously apply a liberal amount of the micellar water onto a cotton pad and proceed to get rid of makeup, repeating the process until I'm makeup, dirt and oil free.

For most of the year I have dry/combination skin but as seasons change so do my needs and towards the end of the year my skin becomes more slick with oiliness and more prone to breakouts - I believe that humidity plays a role. The Garnier Pure Active Micellar Water is great for because it has been formulated to remove makeup, cleanse skin and purify the skin while keeping irritation and excess oiliness at bay.

If you're stuck on which of the two Micellar Waters to get and you have oily and sensitive skin, I would recommend you pick up Pure Active.

You'll love the fact that you don't have to rinse your face afterward - the perfect lazy girls hack to cleansed and purified skin!

Definitely a must have product. I have been using these Micellar Waters for the past couple months to remove my makeup and act as a toner before I moisturize. It left my skin feeling refreshed without drying my eyes and skiing surface. One of the major benefits is removing your eyemakeup without irritation. And is value for its money. Most Micellar waters retail for over R200 for only 100ml and these Garnier Cleansing Waters are 400ml which gives you 200 uses. Talk about a bargain. Get it and try it!

I must admit, I was completely new to Micellar Water before Garnier released their own range. I’ve always been the wet-wipes type of gal when I’m feeling a bit too lazy to go through the entire skincare routine, because seriously now, aint nobody got time for that after a night out!

But what is Micellar water exactly? Basically the water contains groups of molecules (micelles). Think of micelles as the dirt magnets of your skin, they effortlessly capture and lift away makeup and impurities from the skin. And this ladies, is what you get when you put science and skincare together and they make a baby :)

What’s great about Micellar water is you don’t need to rinse at all as rinsing can sometimes strip your skin of its protective barrier. My first impression about the Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water was that the bottles were generously sized – definitely a lot bigger than the other products on the Garnier shelf. It is said on the bottle that you should get about 200 uses per 400ml bottle however I’m not too convinced so I’ll have to see how long it lasts.

IMG_5848IMG_5847The Garnier Micellar water range is available in 2 different types: The pink one is for sensitive skin and the blue one for combination to oily skin. I’ve tried them both and so far they’ve both felt great and definitely no signs of skin irritation. It is really so mild on your skin, it has no scent to it and I’ve also noticed that it tends to turn slightly soapy when applied to your skin. With that being said, your skin is still left feeling smooth and refreshed and I loved that it doesn’t burn your eyes as well.

I must add that you’ll need to use a few more cotton rounds than usual (I used 3 for a complete face cleanse) which is the only downside so you might want to pick up the extra-large cotton rounds which I have seen previously at Clicks stores.

Is this something I’ll be replacing my wet-wipes with? Most definitely! And for just R79.99 this one’s a sure winner which I’m sure will (and probably already has) won over the hearts of many makeup addicts.

I love this product! When you're in a rush, or just not in the mood, a quick swipe of this gets all the grit and grime off of your delicate skin. Was doubtful in the beginning but it works great, similar to a toner

Pure Active Micellar Cleansing Water:
The combination to oily skin formula feels slightly more nourishing on my skin, as I have combination skin type and it does not leave my skin feeling dry or “sticky”. What I love about the formula is that you don’t have to scrub your face in order to remove all the facial dirt. Just in one swipe and already skin is cleaner and feeling refreshed. The best part is that it is safe to use on your eyes and lips too. I like to use this variant as more of a stand-alone make-up remover as it helps to maintain my skin’s moisture level and it does not feel strange when I apply my moisturiser afterwards. Worth the buy.

In 1904, back when people would use plain soap to wash their hair, Alfred Amour Garnier noticed it produced poor results. And so he found a better solution and invented a hair lotion with plant extracts that cared as well as cleaned hair. Garnier has grown and now boasts a diverse product range that serves women of all ethnicities, complexions and hair types across the world.
